No, if a white king for an example checks a black king, then that white king is in check because of the white king. That means that a king can never be checked by a king. Think of it as a forcefield, neither king can come within a 1 square range of the other.

The only possible way a king could check another is if it was blocking the path of one of its own pieces that would be checking the opponent's king, and the king moved to unblock the path. This is called a discovered check.

Can you strait forward kill the king with the queen in chess?

No, because before you kill the king, but you're about to after your opponent's turn, they must get out of check because your queen is checking the king. In other words, they must use their own chess pieces to block the queen or they can move the king into a different spot that is not checked.

Are you allowed to kill the oppenent's king in chess?

If what you mean by "leaving your king open" is not moving it out of check if your opponent puts your king in check, then yes, that is an illegal move. If your king is in check you mustmove to protect it. If you mean simply that you leave your king in the center of the board without castling or other protection, then it is not an illegal move. It may (and probably will) result in your king coming under attack very quickly, however.


Can a king attack the piece that put it in check?
